Q

ARTERIES
TUNICA INTIMA (or INTERNA)
Layers:

A
  • Inner endothelial lining
  • Subendothelial layer (fibroelastic tissues)
  • Internal elastic membrane
18
Q

contains mainly circularly arranged smooth muscles with varying amounts of elastic and collagenous fibers

A

TUNICA MEDIA –

19
Q

parallel lined connective tissue

Some contains a definite External elastic membrane

Q

thin walled and well developed internal elastic membrane

A

INTRACRANIAL ARTERIES

22
Q

Reduction in elastic tissues and muscle (hence are thin)

A

LUNG:

A

UMBILICAL ARTERIES :

24
Q

intima is greatly thick and contains many longitudinal muscles
